More doublets to ponder, 55 this time

At a normal score I certainly play the routine 10(2) even though we still are behind in the race after the play. It creates a gapped 6 prime and is easily extendable.

However, we're nowhere in the ballpark of normal as far as the score goes. We're at gammon save. At gammon save you'd better be damn certain of Play B if you forego making or give up the 20pt anchor. (or any high anchor for that matter) I will opt for maintaining the 20pt anchor here then.

That leaves very few alternatives. Making both inner board points seems too much to commit to, an attacking only game with the open 4pt. That leaves three forced 3s. 13/8 and 8/3(2). Do we pick up the last blot to the 3pt and leave no indirect shots which seems wise at gammon save or do we leave a few indirects by slotting our 8pt which leaves us a better builder distribution, more likelyhood of making the 4pt, and no dilly builder? I'll opt for the latter.

13/3 11/6 8/3
